PositiveBrookdale Santa Monica Gardens
Very sadly my dad's health declined and he passed away prior to moving into Brookdale. My experience with Brookdale was 100+ percent pleasant. Very very helpful and we were reimbursed fully for the funds my dad had paid towards he moving into the community.

★★★★★
PositiveRecommended
The staff are always ready with a genuine smile. The place is well known with a great reputation. My mom seems to enjoy a lot of the offerings. Mom met interesting people and made good friends quickly. She frequently says "My daughter picked the best possible place for me. I tell everyone I know." A person's own voice is powerful.
★★★★★
PositiveBrookdale Santa Monica Gardens was a very lovely place, very nice and clean and everyone seemed very friendly. It was on our top 3 list, but ended up with another location that offered a service we needed most for our loved one.
